The newly reopened Carkeek Park Visitor Center is home to 220 baby chum salmon. We are raising them in a tank and welcome the public to watch these salmon grow up for their eventual release into Piper's Creek later this spring.
Families are welcome to "drop-in" and watch the salmon grow. Starting in March, there will be daily opportunities to feed the salmon once they are big enough.
Coloring activities and interactive displays available for a fun visit for the whole family.
We're open to the public Wednesday - Saturday, 9am-4pm.
Additionally, from January through May, the Carkeek Watershed Community Action Project raises 100,000 baby salmon at Carkeek Park’s imprint pond. Throughout the spring, there will be opportunities to visit the maturing salmon and attend an evening salmon release celebration.
For dates and times, please contact the Carkeek Park Visitor Center at 206.386.4236 or Carkeek.Park@seattle.gov
